NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent :No/680,416, dated August13, 1901.

Application filed J' une 1, 1901.

To all whoml t may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH KUHLEs, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Maywood, Bergen county, New Jersey, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to a non-reillable bottle which is so constructedthat the valve that controls the outlet-orifices is firmly held to Fig.l, but showing the valve unseated.

The letter a represents a bottle having a neck a'. Within this neck iscontained a tube b, that passes through a stopper o, tit-ted within arecess of the neck. The tube b is contracted at bto form a valve-seatand is provided with exit-ports b2 above such seat. At its upper end thetube is embraced by a perforated cap d, cemented thereto and providedwith a flange or collar d', which prevents the introduction of a hook orwire for the purpose of lifting the valve while the bottle is in anupright position. A ballvalve e normally rests upon the seat b of tube bbelow the ports b2, so as to interrupt communication between theinterior of the bottle and such ports.

Serial No. 62,728. (No model.)

Within the tube b is arranged a plunger f,

the rod f of which is embraced by a spring g, which tends to hold theplunger firmly against the valve. A stop f2 on plunger-rod f is adaptedto limit the movement of the plunger by striking a perforated plug h,tted to the upper end of the tube. At its up-` per end the plunger-rod fis provided with an eye f3, adapted to be engaged by a hook or similartool t', by means of which the plunger may be raised to liberate thevalve. When the contents of the bottle are to be poured out, the plungeris raised by means of the hook i and the bottle is tilted, Fig. 3, sothat the valve @will become unseated and the liquid is free to ilowoutthrough the ports b2. Upon the release of the plunger-rod and therighting of the bottle the valve will again become seated and spuriousrefilling will be prevented.

The plunger closes the valve so tightly that the latter constitutes astopper and prevents the ingress of air to the interior of the bottle.

What I claim is-r Anon-reflllable bottle provided with a tube having avalve-seat and exit-ports, a valve seated within said tube, aspring-plunger bearing upon the valve, means for limiting the play ofsaid plunger, an eye at the upper end of the plunger-rod, and a angedcap surrounding the tube, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at New York city, county and State ofNewYork, this 29th dayof May, 1901.
